Public international law including human rights law especially with respect to the guarantee of women's rights; peace agreements and conflict resolution


I was born in Kent but regard South Wales as home as I lived there from the age of 14 until I went to University in London. I have lived and worked for lengthy periods in the USA, Singapore and Australia and have dual British and Australian citizenship. My profesional interests are public international law and human rights - the latter is also my major passion, as an academic and practitioner. My other interests are theatre-going, travel, boating and walking.
